Menasha Ridge Press, 2004
Legend of the Smokies...
+ Excellent descriptions and directions! + Good hikes but weak organization
I bought this book as I had read Molloy's "Trial by Trail" book about his adventures in the GSMNP. I knew that by living in this part of East Tennessee for 20 years, if anyone would know a good overnighter to do in the GSMNP, it would be Johnny Molloy. With over 900 miles of trails in this national ...

Having just moved to the Mountains of North Carolina and an amatuer nature photobrapher, I needed to know where to go for hikes that had great displays of wildflowers. This book appears to be excellant. It isn't spring yet so only time will tell, but I am very hopeful.
